REVIEW OF MARFA FLIGHTS
"These stunning images of one of the most
sparsely populated and least visited regions of North America are not
your typical coffee table book pretty pictures. In Marfa Flights: Aerial Views of Big Bend Country,
Paul Chaplo, a classically trained visual artist who also happens to be
a professional photographer, found and composed out of this swirlingly
violent and bone-dry landscape something wondrous and haunting.
Photographed from a single engine airplane, at various times of day, the
land and sky and jewel-like ribbons of water come alive with form,
muscle, and color.”

— C.M. Mayo, author of Miraculous Air: Journey of a Thousand Miles through Baja California

Alpine, TX If you love the Big Bend, the CBBC Annual
Conference is a must-attend! Join Celia Bell, Mary Bones, and yours
truly for an exciting session that covers a lot of Big Bend turf and
history with illustrated talks punctuated with amazing pictures!

The session will be followed by a book-signing by Paul Chaplo on the Morgan University Center mezzanine. Books will be for sale, and proceeds help support the Museum of the Big Bend.

I am looking forward to hearing Mary Bones speak on the topic of early
aerial photography of the Big Bend. W.D. Smithers is one of my heroes;
would love to fly in a vintage DH-4! Remember to see the my Marfa
Flights exhibit next door in the Museum of the Big Bend! There you can
see the original photographs from the book and more! All the original photographs are for sale, and a portion of the proceeds help the Museum of the Big Bend.http://cbbs.sulross.edu/conference.php
